A True Life Changing Event!

Post by tito »

The other day between classes I decided to go downtown to my local guitar shop. . . . .

As I browsed the walls of guitars I saw a new 360/12 just like mine . . .nothing crazy. . .but then!!!!

A 325V63!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Spotless! No Wear or Tear! Not even a scratch on the Pick Guard! This baby was mint!

I fell to the floor and drooled like a wild animal as I crawled to the service desk to grab a cable. . . . .
. . .I plugged it in and I fell in love. The only problem was I needed to cough up around 1800 dollars. . .

I was broke. . .but belive it or not in two hours I was rocking out the 325 in my living room!

I felt the only decent name to give her was "Gerber Gal"

Why? Because she's so small!!!

How did I manage to get 1800 dollars with no hope in sight?!

To be continued. . . .

Sorry I haven't been posting for a while. . .

My Brother in-law has recently won the battle with cancer.

His army needed my help so I hit the front line. . .

Me and Gerber Gal have a photo shoot scheduled for tonight. Hopefully I will have pictures up ASAP!

Did you call her Gerber Gal because you traded one of your infant children for it?

Great news on all fronts, it sounds like.

I LOVE that! -because I've been there.

My daughter occasionally reads over my shoulder, so warn me if the means to your $1800 was rated NC17 Image.

We went to war with cancer (my father) earlier this year, Sean. Scary times, but we kicked its ***.

Sean, well son, what is the story, and where are the pic's ? You know, I once took a loan out on a 1980 Celica, to pay for my dream tape deck.

Sorry for the delay on the rest of the story. I'm busy lately with Finals and working. Where are the pictures? Haha, I'm having one heck of a time getting the pictures to load. . .right size etc.

Hope to get back soon! Thank you for your patience.
